Steinbruch Horka
Steinbruch Horka is a freshwater quarry dive with easy shore entry.
Plan this as an inland shore dive: stairs, on-site facilities, shallow entry water, and deeper quarry walls for longer dives.
About Steinbruch Horka
Steinbruch Horka is a freshwater quarry dive with shore entry and on-site infrastructure. The quarry's vertical faces, old mining remnants, and sunk attractions, including artificial sharks, add enough variety that it feels more like a real dive site than a training pool. It suits divers who want a calm inland dive with a straightforward entry, clear water when conditions cooperate, and enough depth to stretch beyond the staircase area. Pike, perch, and crabs are the main natural wildlife draws.
